Geysers

“Carbon’s-14” is dating Dione and Tethys…

got Enceladus geysering.

Now this is a Saturn-sized situation.

“Carbon’s-14” is out here trying to keep dates straight, but the chemistry’s getting complicated.

Dione? Tethys?

Two moons in the picture.

And Enceladus?

She’s erupting…

Well, she has a reputation for shooting plumes of water vapor and icy particles out into the great beyond.

Talk about letting your feelings surface.

One minute everybody’s orbiting Saturn, the next minute…

Meanwhile, Carbon-14 is better known for dating things of the past.

So you’d think he’d have things figured out…

But dating two moons while another one’s geysering?

That’s a lot to carbon-date.

One thing’s for sure: in this celestial love triangle,

the chemistry is astronomical.

Some relationships simmer.

Others blow off steam.

Geysers.
